After a series of completely sold-out events in Virginia, Montreal, Ontario, Michigan, and many other cities across North America, Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar returns to Charlotte to lead a transformative evening of guided meditation, timeless wisdom, and breathing techniques inspired by his bestselling book, Notes for the Journey Within which has recently been headlining on USA today and Wall Street Journal bestseller list.
